All the science and health-based actions are crippling.
There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions
The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

Menopause is a natural stage of life that affects millions of women across the country.
But too many of us can’t access accurate information & care, leading to discomfort & health disparities.
With @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I am urging HHS & FDA to strengthen & expand menopause research.

“The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true.”
Mark Carney explains how totalitarianism works.
The lesson couldn’t be more clear: do not obey in advance. That is how freedom erodes and dignity disappears.

fwiw this is the kind of stuff that is going to get us through, not playing rambo
Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Christmas Greeting by the President of Ukraine — Official website of the President of Ukraine
We mark Christmas in a difficult time. Sadly, not all of us are at home this evening. Sadly, not everyone still has a home. And sadly, not everyone is with us tonight. But despite all the suffering that Russia has brought, it is not capable of occupying or bombing what matters most. That is our Ukrainian heart, our faith in one another, and our unity.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)
